The beauty of food is sometimes not only the satisfaction of taste, but also the emotional and psychological comfort. Just like people now boast that the dish is delicious, it is often said that it was the taste of my grandmother when I was a child. From snacks to large food flavors, it gives people a great sense of security, so that we can grasp some emotional roots in this rapidly changing world.
Therefore, walking the streets in winter to find delicious food will be more eager to eat something homely and bring emotional warmth. Guangzhou's friends recommended this small noodle restaurant, saying that "it is the taste of Guangzhou people from snacks to big".
This wonton noodle restaurant that has been on CCTV's "China on the Tip of the Tongue", called Wu Caiji Wonton Noodle Family, is hidden in the alley of Liwan District, if it is not relying on navigation and eyesight, it is really difficult to find the alley brand of Helongli. Most tourists have to look at it for a while, walk a few more steps in, and then see the shop signs.
Wu Caiji, who has won the Michelin Plate Award for 2 years, still insists on not opening a branch. But because of the large passenger flow, but also opened a new façade on the door, is the repair of the old as the old Xiguan house, showing a lot of old things, air conditioning is also enough, the environment is quite good.
But in the old shop, you can intuitively see the process of the chef cooking noodles, skillfully and calmly, bowls of wonton noodles, a piece of fried wonton, soon served on the table.
Wu Caiji's noodles, the first impression is that the soup is particularly fresh, you can drink until the essence is not dry, you can see the shrimp seeds in the soup, with leeks, especially delicious. Later, it was learned that their soup was really made of pork barrel bones, shrimp and shrimp seeds and ham, simmered for 3 hours, and was a real broth.
The noodles are Cantonese-style bamboo noodles with a chewy taste. Those who have watched food documentaries know that the suppression of bamboo noodles is also very kung fu. The wonton, on the other hand, has a full and structured pork filling, not chai or oil, which is said to be prepared in the proportion of fat three and seven thin.
The broth with solid noodles and wonton is only about ten yuan, which is the conscience of the industry.
Amazing thing is fried wonton. Shanghai has similar fried ravioli, but only the bottom is hard and crunchy. The first time was Cantonese fried wonton, in fact, I was a little worried about the whole fried wonton, would it be too greasy throat?
Not at all. I don't know how to fry it so just right, the skin is not oily, but it is crispy and delicious to chew, and dipping it in Thai sweet and spicy sauce is simply a sinful little snack.
I heard that Wu Caiji is open all year round, in order to be a tourist in the neighborhood and far away, and will not go empty. Such a solid material, stable production, but also with sincerity to treat people's stores, it is no wonder that he has not lost his reputation in the heart of lao Guang for so many years, and it has attracted visitors from all over the world, tasting the old Cantonese taste with feelings, quality and grounding, and his heart is warm and satisfied.
